Here at WM Events, we love delving into the mechanics and techniques of creativity to help give us a better understanding of what can be done. So when someone asked us, “what exactly is die cutting?” we couldn’t wait to show them the ins and outs.
Die cutting is the process of trimming shapes out of flat materials like rubber, paper, cloth and plastics, and is a great way to produce multiples of the same shape. Different types of die cutting are used depending on the material being cut, whether there is a backing on the final product (such as stamps), and the desired number of objects.
Flatbed die cutting is used for smaller quantities and simpler shapes. The machine brings together a sheet of material and a plate die to cut, crease or emboss the material.
Rotary die cutting involves rolling a material between two cylinders. One of the cylinders is the die cylinder, and the other is a smooth anvil cylinder that receives the creasing and cutting blades of the die cylinder.
Check out these incredible die cut designs we’ve used for events. The first one is the front and back of an invitation for the Opera ball that took place in Washington, D.C. Following, a custom photograph place card in a die cut cardboard frame is a cute and personal detail. (Check out Spectacular Stuff for tons of cool die cut stuff.) And lastly, the exquisite details of the invitation on the far right is something your guests are sure to remember from your event.
The star on top of the roses is made from multiple die cut piece of sintra board, a type of plastic. Thanks to our friends at the Special Projects Group for helping us create these great designs for the Regent’s Gala. Wm Events has the design ability and resources to help you create great custom details for your next event
